SIBI-P1 Translation G4921-02
you brought together
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed action), active voice, indicative mood, 2nd person plural — "you (plural) did." |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative, second person plural, denotes a completed action performed by 'you (plural).' "Brought together" preserves the root sense of causing to stand together (σύν + ἵστημι) in its most literal and foundational meaning, without importing contextual nuance. |
